The German strategy of using heavy warships to disrup sea born supplies was a miserable failure. If the resources were put into more U-Boats the Battle of the Atlantic would have been very different.

Not too awfully far from where I sailed in '46. Didn't get that far south.

I seem to remember pistols, .45acp & 38 super, touted as being made from steel from the Graf Spee coming from Argentina back in the 60's-70's. Supposedly better quality beacause they were made from fine German steel.

Any comments on this?

Bump.

BTW Exeter was a heavy, not light, cruiser sporting 6x 8" guns.
